🚨 IT'S FINALLY PUBLIC 🚨

I am very, very, very proud of this launch and am so excited to finally share it with everyone! @roost.tools has worked with OpenAI over the past few months to open source a reasoning model that is fine-tuned for Trust & Safety use cases.

gotta give a shoutout to HMA (hasher-matcher-actioner, aka Open Media Match) developed by great folks like @dcallies.bsky.social that built an open source safety foundation to grow!

Everyone benefits from having access to this kind of technology and a rising tide WILL lift us all.

Oh noes! All of my forms of communication share common failure points! Even WhatsApp has failed me.

Wife: "Are we just going to have to shout at each other?"
Me: "Yes, as the cavemen did."

Hello world!

I've made a halfhearted attempt in the last year to use threads - www.threads.net/@dcallies, so I've created a new social media account to make a halfhearted attempt to use that too!
